- Pollution is the motor of premature ageing of the kidney, AP.TEM
Abstract
Premature renal ageing is a risk factor for cardio-vascular adverse events, the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and progression towards end stage renal disease (ESRD). ESRD is associated with low quality of life, high morbidity and mortality, and tremendous health care expenses. The incidence of ESRD varies greatly among countries with 6% in The Netherlands compared to 11% in …
- The role of DNA damage and mitochondrial function in vascular, immune and neurological ageing (DNA MoVINg), AP.TEM
Abstract
The world population is getting older and older. Unfortunately, this increased life expectancy is generally associated by so-called age-related vascular diseases, such as dementia, heart infarct, and stroke, which profoundly compromise the quality of life of the elderly. Age-related disorders are generally viewed as necessary evil. Our project challenges this dogma, as we propose that the…
- Understanding restored forests for benefiting people and nature - NewFor, AP.BTA.TEM
Abstract
Restoration methods, policies, and supportive market and legal instruments have been developed to promote large-scale restoration in the Atlantic Forest region. To shift the scale of restoration from few thousands to millions of hectares a novel approach is needed. This project aims to explore the potential of restored forests for benefiting people and nature in the Atlantic Forest hotspo…

- Using agricultural waste to combat plant pathogens environmental friendly ways to combat Xanthomonas citri, AP.R
Abstract
Brazil is the major producer of concentrate orange juice, exporting 80% of the juice consumed worldwide. The sweet orange juice industry is constantly threatened by diseases that require the use of toxic metais (e.g. copper) and other defensives to enable profitable production. Reducing the usage of defensives in general is of great importance for a sustainable agriculture. In this propos…
- Mixed metal carbides for biomass upgrading (MICA4BIO), AP.R
Abstract
The research project will focus on the use of Mo and W carbides as replacement for noble metais in the deoxygenation of biomass. Here we propose to investigate how to tune the selectivity and stability of these carbide based catalyst for deoxygenation of triglyceride-based feedstocks. We will answer the following questions: Can the beneficial effects of Mo and W carbide be combined by usi…
- Emoweb: an infrastructure to adapt the internet user interfaces considering emotions, AP.R
Abstract
The emotions evoked during the use of an interactive computer system are an important aspect of the user experience. It is known that emotions affect attention, perception, memory, behavior, purchasing decisions, learning, among others. Therefore, in addition to considering aspects of usability and accessibility, designers should also consider which emotions they want to try to evoke with…

- Impact of post-translational protein modifications on human cells with genome damage and cell transformation, BP.PD
Abstract
Individuals with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a rare autosomal genetic disease, present defects to repair DNA lesions induced by ultraviolet radiation (UV). As a consequence, XP patients are extremely sun sensitive and they have increased risk to develop skin cancer compared to the general population. A recent study has shown that UVA-irradiated XP variant (XP-V) cells present a slower DNA…

- Evaluating recruited trees and soil attributes in distinct ecoregions of the Atlantic Forest in São Paulo, Brazil, BP.TT
Abstract
In order to enhance large-scale forest restoration in different ecoregions within Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), it is fundamental to understand more about the potential of natural regeneration, to use it to enhance forest cover. It is very important to understand about the dynamics of those forests. Therefore, the aim of this scholarship is to measure attributes of trees that were rece…
- Phenology, frugivory and molecular analysis of animal-dispersed plants in naturally regenerating forests, BP.TT
- Genetic and molecular basis of chlorophyll retention in seeds: a step forward to improve soybean adaptability to climate change, BP.PD
Abstract
Since the dawn of Agriculture, seeds have formed the basis of human civilisation. They provide over 60% of the energy intake of the world's population and guarantee food security by conservation of genetic diversity. Due to global climate change, agricultural areas in the world are increasingly prone to climatic extremes. For most species, extreme temperatures and drought stress drastical…
